Minneapolis (Feb. 15, 2019) – If you’ve never been to an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC), now’s your chance. For the first time ever, you can enjoy Movies Under the Domes, powered by Pepsi. One night a month through May, the MCC will show a complimentary feature film in one of the MCC’s auditoriums. Upcoming films include “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Moana,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

Date night, family night or a hang-out-with-friends night, each Movies Under the Domes evening is free to the public. Movie-goers must RSVP through Eventbrite for General Admission tickets, as seating is limited. The first 100 people through the door at all movies will receive a free, two-pack set of Pepsi stainless steel straws.

Doors open at 5 p.m. All movies start at 6:30 p.m.:

• Feb. 28 – Sixteen Candles (PG)
• March 21 – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (PG-13)
• April 25 – Moana (PG)
• May 16 – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (PG)

“The Minneapolis Convention Center prides itself on a strong relationship with our community and the neighborhoods that surround the MCC,” said Minneapolis Convention Center Executive Director Jeff Johnson. “We’re excited to invite our neighbors to a fun night at the convention center to let them interact with our facility in a different way and thank them for their support.”

In addition to free feature films, guests can relax in the MCC Craft Bar and Lounge, which will have Minnesota craft brews and light snacks available for purchase. Those under age 21 can purchase snacks and beverages outside the Craft Bar and Lounge, including Niki’s ice cream sandwiches. These treats are hand-crafted with fresh-baked cookies, made from scratch at the MCC, and featuring Minnesota’s own Bridgeman’s ice-cream.
